[3.17] Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems (No Further Updates)

In the same boat. I dont have lots of woke gems or hextouch, but I do have pretty much everything else and im only at 94k hideout.
Even in PoB it only shows around 500k. Oh well, playing it feels pretty good, so I should not worry I guess. Last edited by Baldrick on May 7, 2021, 12:28:29 AM

" Yes, obviously. But the point is that it lets us compare between ourselves without worrying about what POB settings everyone has set. People often have wildly unrealistic settings that makes it impossible to compare. " Every time I've checked for a character, it's been +1 all gems. But you should check with POB to make sure. " I don't mean to single you out, as a few people have said stuff like this lately. But the reason I have 3 or 4x the DPS of them is that they just don't have pretty much everything that I do. I normally have a different tree to them, two large clusters compared to their 1 (or none), four mediums, four cobalts compared to their Clear Mind, corrupted Soul Mantle, +2 gem amulet vs Pandemonius, better wands, double mod eye compared to their no eye, and so on and so forth. You reach 400k hideout DPS by getting upgrades. And you can get to 180k or something by just following the guide. Last edited by NoImagination on May 7, 2021, 12:57:20 AM

" I crafted the following mods in POB to compare, and I've listed the increase in DPS beside the mods. I've also linked each item's trade search for your convenience. MOD IN ADDITION TO "+1.8% to Critical Strike Chance while affected by Hatred" 1. Adds 70 to 104 Cold Damage while affected by Hatred: 6.0% 2. Damage Penetrates 15% Cold Resistance while affected by Hatred: 7.6% 3. 60% increased Cold Damage while affected by Hatred: 7.0% 4. +30% to Critical Strike Multiplier while affected by Precision: 3.3% Take note that it's based on my POB so there will be differences based on the different gear you're running. For example, "Damage Penetrates 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances if you haven't Killed Recently" on boots is a huge upgrade that I don't have, so it affects the penetration Watcher's Eye favorably. (PS: My suggestion is to consider upgrading your Soul Mantle (+1 or +2 implicits) before going for a double/triple mod Watcher's Eye, since a better armor costs only about 1-2ex base and around 10ex to color and link. This is compared to a decent Watcher's Eye, which goes at around 50 - 80ex.) Last edited by limevan on May 7, 2021, 2:05:27 AM

" You're probably missing the following under the CONFIGURATION tab. I've listed the relevant parts here, together with comments on where and how they proc. Check these: 1. "Are you always on Low Life?": Coward's Legacy 2. "Do you use Power Charges": Conviction of Power 3. "Do you use Endurance Charges": Conviction of Power 4. "Do you use Frenzy Charges": If you handcast Cold Snap on trash or Vaal Cold Snap on bosses (to add: you get vaal souls from hitting bosses, so vCS can boost your dps with frenzy charges even against bosses) 5. "Do you have Onslaught": Sleepless Sentries 6. "Is your Crit Chance Lucky?": Diamond Flask 7. "Is the enemy Chilled by your Hits?": Bonechill support 8. "Is the enemy Shocked?: Cold Cluster notable - Cold Conduction 9. "Is the enemy Unnerved?": Curse Cluster notable, or Bladeblast 10. "Is the enemy on Consecrated Ground?": Bottled Faith, or Purifying Flame (the latter also procs Bottled Faith's increased damage taken when the flask is active) 11. "Is the enemy a Boss?": Shaper/Guardian or Sirus. Sirus has better armor, but that's not relevant to us. Under the ITEMS tab, pop the checkmarks against your flasks. I hope this helps! | |
" With how Spell skill gems scale between lvl 21 to 30, having a better Freezing Pulse gem seems to give better DPS.  Again, from POB with a lvl21 FP to start, these are the % increase in overall DPS: Soul Mantle (FP @ lvl26): baseline +1 to Level of Socketed Gems (FP @ lvl27): 12.2% +2 to Level of Socketed Projectile Gems (FP @ lvl28): 16.1% both implicits (FP @ lvl29): 30.4% PS: The increase in Projectile Speed is also nice to have, and this isn't considered in the DPS calculation.

" I see, yeah best not to compare my dps with yours..didn't realize you had so much more stuff. I guess at this point I should probably work on getting more awakened gems. Maybe slowly try to roll some more cluster gems and arrange my tree so I can use a second set. Awakened hextouch is still a ways off heh. | |
" Thanks for that, PoB reports 925k Total DPS now. That sounds more like it heh. | |
" Can you compare your DPS with these gloves (417K) vs the usual ones (against chilled enemies) ? Didn't you have to re-work on your resistance ? (+16% to all vs 45% cold and 45% fire or lightning) |

387k vs 423k, but it's probably something where POB is better than hideout DPS. I was going to drop resist from gloves anyway (and go for cast speed + projectile speed on them), so was already preparing for it. Similarly, I took dex on my medium cluster jewels and amulet.
It does lose life though, and the benefit is the spores and some mana. I quite like it so far. Last edited by NoImagination on May 7, 2021, 9:30:15 AM

" Is it only mostly useful for ultimatum or is it also good for clear speed and boss kill in general ? |
